Back To My Best | Valencia Marathon 2024 Was Almost Perfect!

Saying he might not have much footage but the supporters came through so amazing

Turns out all you have to do to be a likeable influencer is not have an ego the size of the sun

So much good support and footage. You're obviously well liked and respected in the running community.

[@annestrock4917]

Words of wisdom from Ben, 1) Marathons are hard! 2) cut your toenails!!3) eat pringles for salt replacement. Congradulations on a successful run!

[@cegop]

Why bleeding? Coz of shoes?

[@loraleeunf]

Ah it gave me chills watching the montage of all the videos your supporters sent out and one guy even running alongside you a few meters to get the footage. To be so loved and supported in your sport! A direct reflection of the hard work you've put in to KZbin/ig to create such a fanbase.

[@maxsuharevsky3610]

Thanks

[@Joseph-ns2pl]

You seem like such a genuine bloke Ben. Love watching the journey and congratulations!

[@jonathanwatkins447]

Wow. What a run. He's back. Well done

[@definitelynosebreather]

The supporters are lovely! The enthusiasts outside supporting is one of the best parts of running

[@juance4937]

my favorite youtuber is back in shape, london here we go!!!!!

[@adriaantermors8122]

Congratulations Ben, well deserved after all the hard work you put in. I love a good sprint finish, and that looked pretty impressive. Not sure whether you met Emiel again last Sunday, he did run a PB, although he fell 20 seconds short of his sub-2:20 goal. Like you, he lost a little bit of time around the 35k mark, only to finish strong. Thanks for all the supporters providing footage too! Very nice to see.

[@donalowens4117]

Hehe, I'm the dude at 39k shouting "3k to go, all downhill from here". Nice run, mate, well done.

[@faithmacdonald2292]

Way to go and way to come back! 🎉 The ones that come hard almost always feel more meaningful - congrats and well deserved

[@amandawalker4510]

Bloody superb, your a star, everyone knows Ben. What a kick at the end . Coming back from all those injuries. Commitment 100%. 🎉🎉🎉

[@tomjames3815]

Well done Ben. I was in Boston in 2023 and Valencia in 2024. Sometimes a race is about more than a PB. Been great to see your journey, I reckon 2025 is going to be your year.

[@matthiaslieb4980]

This is very inspiring. Congrats to you on the achievement and for working through injuries. Well done and thanks for sharing. 👊🏻

Ben, a big congratulations on this stellar effort! You are such an inspiration and your humility is refreshing. I am a big fan of yours in Brisbane so I hope you make it up here (or the Gold Coast/Sunshine Coast) - if you are doing some hardcore running and Meg wants a running companion at her pace, please contact me!! I love how you include her and your lovely sister in your videos. Such a nice heart. While I've been heavily injured this year after 19 years of running, your content has helped keep the spirit of running alive in my soul. Thank you. Wishing you more successes along the way 😊 Get ready for a hot and sweaty holiday when you arrive down under!

Great stuff! I just started running in May 2024, did a 10K in September, signed up for a Half for May 2025, and hoping to sign up for a full marathon for 2026. Wanted to ease into it and make sure I like the distance. Now i've just been watching a bunch of Marathon KZbinrs to learn more hahah.

[@severiner7168]
